About: My first beer was Budweiser. I was about 9 or 10, Dad and I were broken down and the side of the road and all there was to drink was Budweiser. So I had a swig of his, hated it!
I didn't drink beer again until I joined the Marine Corps. I was in Quantico, attending Small Computer Systems Specialist school, when I accidentally knocked a beer out the fridge and broke it. My buddies said now I gotta drink one! The rest is history. The broken beer was a Red Dog by the way.
Now days I am really a hop head that enjoys the IPAs [Stone IPA; Lagunitas IPA] and Douple IPAs [Moylan's; Hair of the Dog Blue Dot]. I also like Belgians [St Bernardus; Delirium; Three Philosopher's] a lot! I also like the Stouts and Porters [Black Butte] as well.
I enjoy going to breweries to sample as well as going to pubs and taverns. I also like enjoying beer with friends and bouncing ideas off of other intelligent people as well. Last time I was at O'Brien's I was shooting the shit with a couple of random strangers.
I hope to someday do a pub/tavern crawl across Europe. That's all I want. Simple.

Here is one of those, why didn’t I think of that moments. Take a look at the Beer Gauge, made by Chris Holloway out in Colorado. The theory is that your getting cheated out of CRUCIAL amounts of beer by not getting the advertised American measurement for pint, 16oz. Head on over to Chris’s website and maybe we at CORE can even order some up to put a CUSTOM logo on:

Only thing that’s missing on that Beer Gauge is another ruler guide for measuring the thickness of the bottom of the glass. You may get a full fill from the top point of view but if the bartender uses glasses with very thick bottoms then you could be missing another 1-2oz on the pour. You also have to realize that no bartender is going to fill it absolutely all the way up to the top. You must leave room for a small head and avoiding spillage if too full. Realistically, your only going to get 14oz or so in a real pour. If you have flat beer with no head, then you might fit more in the glass.
